Looking to haul the 5 el 6 meter beam back up the tower tomorrow...will probably have to dodge a few rain drops. My luck, if I don't put it up 6 will be wide open this weekend.

I plan to be active on 6,2,222,432 &1296 this weekend.

Well it went just as I thought it would. Checked the radar after I got all my ducks in a row.. had a "window" i figured i could get up the tower and pull up the 6m beam. Get it all buttoned up and back down before the rain started. Sure enough.. about the time I got to the top and got the boom bolted to the mast it opened up on me. No big deal. It only lasted a few minutes. I thought this son of bitch better work better than it ever has after this!!

Glad I put it up. Made just over 100 Qs on 6. 189 Qs total. 224 Q points X 117 mults = 26,208 total. Not my best score, but I'll take it. 200w and under 6&2 100 w and under 222 & 432 10w 1296. Analog (all ssb) only.

Grabbed a few new grids on 6 and one new 1296 grid. All and all I had fun. Looking forward to next June!
